Chapter 36
The group was shocked at Saya's outrageous statement... Then they thought about it for awhile and there shock disappeared quickly, when they were reminded on how spontaneous this girl acted it seemed natural that she would do this.
Oliver knew he was no match and no matter what he said, this girl called Sayaka nicknamed Saya will forcefully join. Without any other option Oliver looked at the other members of the circle.
"My comrades are you willing to allow this... This person into our group?"
"Aside from her personality which is rather... Erratic, her foundation is pretty good. I have no objection adding someone like her into the group." Alex gave his opinion on the subject. Since if Sayaka was around Rachel, it would be better for the mission. Someone of Sayaka's level could easily subdue even a Rank B mercenary.
"Heh, your one to talk... It's not like your personality is any better. Also I vote yes as well to Saya joining. If Saya wants to join let her join. It would be good to have another girl in the group. Also it fulfills the other objective on getting closer to becoming an official club. Its not like we set a prerequisite to join us" Rachel gave her opinion as well, and it was obviusly in favor of Saya.
Hearing his two comrades siding with the outsider, Oliver felt a bit betrayed. Saya on the other hand was thrilled."Yay! I get to join, now I can have as fun as I can with you guys. It's actually perfect timing since Eva is here it would be easier to process my resignation from the Kendo club."
Saya looked at Eva who seem a little bit out of it."Oh it's alright I will allow your resignation from the Kendo club, you just need to fill some forms tomorrow. I will handle the rest." Hearing Eva's response made Saya smile mischievously at Oliver, who felt that the days ahead will be hard on him.
Eva on the other hand looked at the happily smiling Saya with envy in her eyes. She too wanted to join the Mercenary Circle with everyone and enjoy her youth with Alex, her friend Saya, and eccentric Oliver, she even wanted to enjoy it with her rival in love Rachel.
Eva at this very moment was regretting on being born a Kain. She seems to have everything but in reality she had nothing.
...
In the street near the cafe where Alex and his group were having their meeting a very confident and handsome young man was walking at the sidewalk, while enjoying the the light breeze. This tall, handsome model like teenager was Niel Rayheart the most popular boy in Cromer Public High School. He was the envy of all the boys in school they all wanted to be him, and he was the number one guy, girls want as their boyfriend.
Not only did he look good, he was the second highest scoring student in the whole school, second only to Evangeline. He was also good at any sport he tries, he himself believed that he was a perfect human. The only reason he even loses to Evangeline academically is because he has never tried to surpass her, nor did he feel the need to do so. Effort was what the lowly masses give to get what they wish, he could get anything he wants even without said effort.
So you might be thinking that his family might not be that well off, but in truth his family was of the upper middle class. The only reason why he attends a public high school such as Cromer's is because it was the closest to his house.
The only flaw to this so called perfect human was he himself believed that he was perfect. His acts of kindness was to make himself look better in the eyes of the masses. Even now as he was walking people who see him keep on gasping, what was surprising was not just the girls were doing this even some of the boys were gasping as well.
When other people look at Niel they see a sort glowing radiance surrounding him. This narcissistic perfect human was able to notice Alex's group.
He noticed the group consisted of two of the three Goddesses of the school. The freshaman weirdo, the cute little devil Sayaka, and the supposed mysterious transfer student, whose popularity was growing by the day. It was believed that his popularity was due to the rumor that he was the boyfriend of one of the Goddesses.
'Oh it seems like my juniors, who are considered almost as stunning as me are gathered in that cafe. Hmm they seem to be having a lot of fun, might as well give them even more joy as they bask in my radiance. '
Niel entered the cafe, and Saya immediately noticed who the new comer was."Hey what are you doing here Niel?"
Niel smiled at the group who were looking at him and answered."Nothing much I was just enjoying my Sunday walk and noticed my juniors were having fun in this cafe. So what sort of fun things are you guys doing?"
Niel sat on the empty sit that was beside Oliver.
"It's nothing much we were just discussing things to do in our new Circle." Saya answered not bothered by the look Oliver was giving her.
"Oh a new Circle? Who was the one who created it? Was it the new student over here? Sorry for the late introduction my junior I'm Niel your upperclassman." Niel extended his hand for a friendly handshake.
Alex was wary of the guy who entered the cafe full of confidence. He looked at Niel's hand that was extended towards him and concluded that he was just a friendly upperclassman.
"I'm Alexander it is nice to meet you." Alex looked at Niel with his emotionless face, which made Niel feel a bit weird.
Ever since he entered this cafe the staff and the other customer were either gasping at his looks or staring at him. Yet the group gathered around this table don't seem to care who he was. This was the first time, that there was no reaction upon meeting him.
He understood why Saya had no reaction since they already met before, and she reacted then. Evangeline didn't even bother looking at him, as she was focusing all her attention on Alex. Rachel did look at him but didn't have any major reaction aside from her initial shock. Oliver made a slight twitch when looking at him, before nodding. This reaction Niel could accept, sinc guys do have a weaker reaction to his presence than girls...
Yet here stood a guy who had absolutely no reaction to his presence. His deadpan eyes reminded Niel of a dead fish.
While Niel was shacking Alex's hands he was intrigued by this group of juniors of his. 'Maybe they might quench a bit of my boredom. '
