Roped Fate
Ch.16: What Do I Mean to You?

The first exercise went quite well, there were no obstacles that had a lot of effect, although sometimes Riko became upset until she was back fighting with her senior, but it was not a big problem, but it was not a big problem, the more he interacts with his seniors, the closer he gets to the exorcist club members.

However, the following days Riko even more grim, this is because the junior members have returned and participated in training together. He was not happy to see the look of those who looked down on him.

Other than Fuurin the other junior members only numbered three people, they came from the 8B class and 2 people from the 8C, actually none of them knew Riko well, they only hear the wind from person to person.

Not wanting to see his best friend continue to be ridiculed, Fuurin finally intervened to tell them that Riko was not as they imagined, of course the three of them did not want if there was a feud between the other members.

Therefore, they only agreed on Fuurin's words, but different in their hearts still had doubts.

Even though Riko herself did not care, whether or not they would be nice to her, it was really none of her business. He just didn't like their existence, it really bothered his mind.

Every day he only interacts with Fuurin or one of his seniors named Ran, at first it is a bit awkward, but over time he is quite used to it, if he wants to come then he will go there and if not he is only in class or skipping somewhere.

A few days ago, the teacher said that there will be a repeat next week, it is expected that students learn well.

Maybe it was a normal thing, but Riko actually thought hard for it, occasionally he also wanted to look great in order to trample his haters.

However, the problem here is that he cannot learn on his own, considering the days he has missed before just to skip.

Fuurin invited him to study together after school and the club activities ended, he agreed even though he was a bit bored if he had to study at home.

DING ... DONG ....

The break bell rang, as usual they were going to the cafeteria together. Of course he did not want anyone to come along to interrupt his lunch with Fuurin.

Lately Riko has begun to reduce his truancy, but his arrogant attitude certainly remains unchanged, he also always messes with the activities of everyone who wants to be close to his friend.

“Oii, Riko! how come you're so angry when they ask me?” fuurin Protest.

“They just want to influence you to stay away from me and when I don't have any friends anymore, they will be very happy,” explained Riko.

“You think too much know!”

“In that school there are many types of people, including .. types who are not happy to see people happy or happy to see people suffering, secondly, the type who are not happy to see people suffering, there are types who only follow when they do not know what the problem is, usually they are pretentious to participate in blasphemy and gossip here and there without knowing the truth, third, third, people who already know the truth but deliberately reverse the fact so that he is happy, besides there are those who deliberately demean people to raise their degrees, it is commonplace in every place, it is commonplace, you do not be too innocent if you do not want to be a doormat,” explained Riko with fiery emotions.

“OK deh, I know your bad experience .. but forget it, I'm still here you know!” reply Fuurin enthusiast.

“You ... can you forever hold your word?” ask Riko doubtfully.

"I don't promise, but as long as I'm still in this world .. I will always keep my promise,” Fuurin replied firmly.

“Alright, it helps me more than enough, you are indeed the best, and we will see... someday I will prove and make them beg at my feet,” reply ambitious Riko.

“Yosh! I will also help you ... and restore your good name,” Fuurin added.

Along the way they discussed quite a lot of things, laughing and hitting each other, it was common for both of them until they finally got to class.

Up at the door he was a bit surprised, looking as if someone was waiting for him there.

“Hei Riko! finally you come too,” exclaimed a beautiful student named Lisa.

“Ahh .. You are yes, have long waited?” riko asked a bit awkwardly.

“Just now, that time you said you would study together again right?” reply Lisa excited.

“Ehh . ya-iya, but now I'm a bit busy anyway,” said Riko rather hesitantly while returning to glance at Fuurin.

“Times are busy anyway, once in a while there is no free time?” ask Lisa again.

“Not so, I have an appointment today,” said Riko lazy.

“Mmm .. oiya this is your friend right?”

“Ah yes, my name is Fuurin.”

“I Lisa, nice to meet you, can you borrow your friend for a minute? I'm having more troubles, maybe he can help me,” Lisa said hopefully.

‘What do you mean by borrowing for a while, what am I doing?’ bhatin Riko is upset.

“Oh yes, please! if it is again need help, no problem,” reply Fuurin briefly.

“OK deh ... just a minute yes.”

“Ready!”

With a radiant face, Lisa pulled Riko's hand and took her away. While Fuurin was still standing there, he was shocked by someone's chattering.

“Hmm .. It's a pity that your girlfriend got stabbed.”

“Anaan the umbrella mushroom, you are always nongol in every incident whatsoever,” said Fuurin annoyed.

“Don't be so dong! I'm just concerned about seeing you right now, your mood must be upset right?” seductive Juan with his idle gaze.

“Not your business! that person ... I feel bad for him,” Fuurin said suddenly.

“Iya I know you are jealous, hmm .. to be honest with people,” Juan replied while chuckling.

“Not so! I'm not jealous, I just feel that person is not very good with Riko,” said Fuurin trying to straighten out Juan's misunderstanding.

“Hmm .. hence, I know what you mean.”

“I have to investigate the guy.”

“Iya knows how, your feelings ... okay, I will help you get rid of it, you will ... make a deal with me?” juan asked full of meaning.

“Quick! tell me first what is it?” asked Fuurin seriously.

Riko and Lisa went to the library, where there were many books scattered everywhere, he was a little surprised and looked confused.

‘Satan what has ransacked the library to this extent, hmm.’

“Hei! Lisa, how can it be this mess?” asked Riko who was still dumbfounded.

“Ehh .. that was actually, my classmates wanted to move these bookshelves so that the reading place was not too narrow and ...”

“Narrow what, this mah is more than enough,” cut Riko with a slightly irritated tone.

“Iya indeed, but they took another seat to put here so that they can huddle hanging out here,” explained Lisa calmly.

“Haahhh ..”

“But baby, when they started moving it, uh .. the shelves instead fell and the books became scattered,” added Lisa.

“Lalu ...”

“Then, they asked me to take care of it, they said there was a sudden affair so couldn't help,” Lisa replied with a little awkwardness.

“Hahh .. You are, I want to be tested, justin! later they were also scolded,” said Riko who was increasingly upset.

“I can't resist, it's a pity that for now I still can't ..”

“Hmm .. You're really pathetic yeah.”

Knowing that, inevitably Riko still helped him, he also could not bear to let the girl work hard by herself, counting as a thank you for helping her learn.

And because of that Riko again missed his lesson hours. However, he can still study there with Lisa.

On the other hand Fuurin was upset, Riko could have truant again when he said that he would change his bad habits, realizing that Juan again giggled to see the face tangled Fuurin.

‘Just wait until the break later, I will protest him all out, hmm. how can I reverse the good name if you still just ditching like a delinquent, help the hell help, he said, but not to skip too many times,’ protest Fuurin in heart.

Actually it is not a matter of jealousy, he only cares about his friend and always wants the best for him, because it is sometimes he feels annoyed when his friend is indifferent to himself, because it is, while he himself had fought hard for her, wasn't this like a meaningless struggle?
